When we think of who’s a high performer, our brains are programmed to think about athletes or c-level executives at the top of their game. Their margin of error is small, the fan base is vocal and stockholders are looking out for the bottom line. But, we should include musicians on this list as the hours of training, the level of skill, and the toll it can take on the psyche is a significant one. Dr. Noa Kageyama, is a high-performance psychologist at the prestigious Juilliard School in NYC. He specializes in teaching musicians how to use sports psychology principles to thrive under pressure.
